We are the dumb ones... 
So now she has me all excited about the AWTA (American Working Terrier Association) and doing some obedience work! She was VERY impressed with Higgins and his energy and willingness and enthusiasm at working. I'm just bursting with pride here. But I also know that now I have to GO TO WORK to teach myself how to train him 
Bettyeanne, you just tell Patrick that Mr. Higgins will have the right manners to escort Miss Prissy Paws in February. And we'll have our own agility and obedience trials on sites 373 and 375!  |
YEAHHHHHH!!!!!! CONGRATS ... I knew that Higgins was smart ... he's a Yorkie!!
Can't wait until February to see what all he has learned! Hopefully I will have the small things built by then and we can set up a little course ... Higgins can teach Toto a thing or two! I got a feeling he will have a little shadow that will look a lot like Miss Prissy Paws anyway!!
I bought a book and the clickers while we were in Missouri but we haven't gotten around to starting the training! I'll have to find it and read up on it so I'll know what you're talking about!
Toto sends sloppy puppy kisses to Higgins!!!
